The Hollywood Fantasy !

Day 5 - December 28 2008 (Sunday)

Hollywood - the district in downtown LA which has become synonymous with Movies in United States. We were in the cinema capital of the world which has and is churning out movies to a dozen. The Universal Studios - Hollywood was our hub for the entire day. One whole day is not enough to explore the whole place and you are left asking for more. However we could cover the most famous places, shows and rides. Below are some of the highlights of the studio. Sit back and enjoy.



When in Hollywood everything is glamorized



The earth is a studio



Our companion Ravi strikes a pose





Holiday frenzy



Christmas Dolls



A truly lovely piece of art as you



Captivating smile



Tour the Studio





A stunt demo



Chugging along in the studio tour experiencing earthquakes, floods, fires, shark attacks, gated communities, ancient European streets and many more.



Its the Christmas season - Year 2008









Shrek 4-Dimension - yes you get to feel what you see







Dare to enter the House of Horrors











Spectators for the astoundingly synchronised performance of the Water World - The most famous show.



The show begins



































The 15 minute show comes to an end


You got call



Mulligans bar - The Adios cocktail



At $25 'All you can eat' througout the day









The double experience of the Mummy Roller Coaster left us ecstatic



The luminous escalators






The name of The Simpsons Krustyland rollercoaster does not even give a clue of the excitement that is in store. The combination of still motion and virtual reality was phenomenal.



Tourists set for the Terminator 3-D



The mimicked city





Walk the Citywalk







Sound of music









The mammoth guitar - only a hulk can strum



It was a day filled with fun, curiosity and excitement. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We left Los Angeles at 10 PM and reached Bay Area at 2-30 AM. The 1300 mile 5 day journey was indeed a year ending stree buster.
